About this tour

Explore La Maddalena's western archipelago aboard a six-person private boat with a captain who doubles as host and guide. Over seven hours, you'll anchor in secluded coves unreachable by larger vessels, snorkel pristine waters, paddleboard in sheltered bays, and eat Sardinian charcuterie and local wine prepared onboard. The intimate scale means genuine connection with your skipper and genuine solitude in the islands.

Highlights

  • Six-person maximum vessel accesses remote, shallow-water coves
  • Snorkelling gear and stand-up paddleboards included
  • Captain-prepared Sardinian sausage, pecorino, wine, beer
  • Full day with same skipper—no formal guides, real conversation
  • Onboard toilet and fresh water throughout

What to expect

You board a compact boat and motor west toward quieter anchorages. The captain anchors in crystalline bays where bigger tours can't fit. Slip overboard to snorkel, or balance on a paddleboard in ankle-deep turquoise water. Mid-morning, the captain lays out local cured meats, cheese, bread, and wine at a makeshift table on deck—eaten with your feet dangling toward the Mediterranean. Afternoon means more swimming, more exploring, maybe a second anchorage. The captain steers, explains Sardinia, keeps water flowing, and stays accessible rather than aloof.
